| Ok, so I have my woa spr barrel, and the slr solo light rail is on the way. Now, I plan on using either an A2 stock or magpul rifle stock. Are there any buffer /spring setups that are better for a precision AR? Sinice this isn't a 3-gun upper per se, I don't really see a need for the low mass carriers etc. , or am I wrong? Would it be advisable to get a bolt fitted ? Is a regular rifle A2 spring just fine? |

So it's OK with a rifle buffer tube? The Vltor website says it's only compatible with the Vltor buffer tube Quoted:

I use the A5 buffer system in my SPR. Actually I use them in everything now. So it's OK with a rifle buffer tube? The Vltor website says it's only compatible with the Vltor buffer tube No, do not use the A5 buffer on a rifle buffer tube, you will do damage to your rifle. Any rifle buffer will be fine. You can use a JP or sprinco spring if you want to upgrade the spring. |

The Vltor website says it's only compatible with the Vltor buffer tube No, VLTOR's tube only. I like collapsible stocks so works great for me. All it does is get a rifle spring and similar weight buffer in a carbine type extension tube. Don't need in a rifle extension tube. |

If you want to use a rifle buffer tube (or a carbine buffer tube), I can't say enough good things about the JP-SCS.
It comes with a spacer so it can be used in either of those tubes, and imparts an extremely smooth, consistent feel to the action. Shooting an AR without one feels really strange to me now. They're a bit pricey, but worth it in my experience. I have them in two ARs and will be putting one in my third AR eventually. |

I've got two different "precision" Ar's in my safe. One uses a standard rifle buffer and a JP spring in an A2 stock. .The other uses an H buffer, jp carbine spring, and a collapsable stock.
The real answer for YOU? There is no answer. Guns will respond differently based on the type of bcg you run, gas port size, suppressor use, Ammo used, etc... I would suggest deciding on a stock first, then starting with a standard spring/buffer, and then increasing it slowly with different combinations until it performs as YOU want it to. Sadly, it is going to cost a bit unless you have an assortment of buffers/springs, or know someone else who does, but there's no definite way to see what will perform the best without trying them on your specific rifle. |
